Seems like I'm the only person who doesn't think SMB3 is GOD

I personally own about 230 NES games, and I'd hate to tell you but SMB3 is one of the easier games. I personally find the first SMB to be harder.

As far as ALTTP goes, well that's just a great game. It's challenging yes, but god it's fun and rewarding when you finally figure something out. I mean that was such a huge game back then. At first I thought I might be close to beating it after collecting the first 3 things, and then they throw 7 crystals at you!!

I hate to sound like an old fart(I'm only 19), but this seems to be a problem with kids and games these days. The games are getting easier and easier added more checkpoints, more save points, and more lives. Sure it's nice, but where's the challenge. Most games don't have things that challenge you like they did back then because kids these days have too short of attention spans and will probably just say screw it.

I remember playing through ALTtP with my older brother when I was a kid, and we really had to think and talk some things through, because we didn't have the internet to go to.

Of course there are challenging games these days, but they are far and few between. It almost brings a tear to my eye when I watch my 7 year old brother play mega man 2 and after many tries he finally can beat a boss or two. And then the next week I watch him blaze through the monkey boss in Twilight Princess.

I guess in all this rambling what I'm trying to say, keep trying to beat it, it will get easier. And I'm also saying that I miss the NES/SNES era. lol
